(19) Ingredients for the welcome banquet
"Jessica, remember the other day I asked you to prepare some healthier snacks. Actually, I plan to hold an orientation party every semester starting from this semester. Although it was just a regular dinner party, the students were all teenagers, and they all loved snacks, once or twice once in a while. ”
The farms and plantations inside Hogwarts created by Dumbledore are, after all, limited.
There are only ordinary pigs, cows, chickens, and ducks in the farm, ordinary vegetables such as sticky corn, beans, eggplants, tomatoes, and peppers in the planting farm, and only apples and pears in the orchard.
Hogwarts students live at Hogwarts for about four months a semester and about eight months a year, and almost all the ingredients come from farms and plantations.
Hogwarts has fertile land, and although the main labor force house-elves cost more system points, Hogwarts must be self-sufficient anyway, and the size and variety of farms and plantations have been increasing in size and variety for four years.
In the past few years, Dunlido has been building necessities, and now in addition to the plants and items in the basic world of Harry Potter that cost fewer system points, the plants and items in the rest of the world can also be extracted as aids.
It can even expand some brain holes, such as the nerve-strengthening and brain-strengthening potion meal, which can be fully promoted.
"I said why do you let me buy some ingredients every week, I thought you were wholesale!"
"Wait a minute, I'll ask the kitchen elves to move the ingredients you prepared into the kitchen's Philosopher's Stone warehouse."
Behind the Leaky Cauldron there are two small dock warehouses that are also the property of Dunlido, and there are some Hogwarts and Leaky Cauldron ingredients and discarded tables and chairs stacked in the warehouse.
There was a small wharf near the Hudson River in the dock warehouse, also owned by Dumbledore, and a rusty two-story boat was parked at the wharf, and in the small boat there were Dumbledore's fishing licenses and rods.
"Although there are not many types in the warehouse, they are all personally selected by me when the bar is not open during the day when I go to the food factory with the porter of the bar and drive your Ford pickup truck directly!"
Now that his boss has such a strong background, he can almost walk sideways in this ordinary world, and as an employee who gets along with him quite well, he naturally has to ask for more credit. Maybe one day your boss will be happy and give you a priceless magic treasure, and you will benefit yourself for the rest of your life.
At this time, Jessica didn't dare to underestimate Dunlido at all, although she always felt that Dunlido was not simple, but she didn't expect Dunlido to be a big man with a world.
These snacks are only served as a side dish, and the food at Hogwarts is still remarkable, with one or two meat dishes for each meal, and it is not uncommon for a whole chicken or half a pig to be served.
Basic food farms and plantations are also available, relying on the house-elves to fiddle with these ingredients in different tricks, so that every ordinary ingredient is radiant. When the first batch of graduates is freshly baked, it also allows those graduates who stay in school to smoke a cigarette.
"You said you don't want a less healthy snack, so I mostly bought foods made from dried fruit and some small amounts of cookies."
Jessica is organized and clean, which is the most important point that Dumbledore promoted Jessica as a manager.
For Jessica's sake of doing his best for himself, if he sees the Purple Man, he will definitely avenge Jessica in another parallel world.
"A box of lentil cookies is only $11, and a small box of butter waffles is less than $3, waffles must be a must-have for teen parties, and I can vouch God that your students must have broken their heads." Actually, I've found that I've been in love with butter lately, probably influenced by our signature butterbeer. ”
Jessica took a small notepad and recorded the ingredients purchased and the knives spent on each of them to complete the mission assigned by Dumb Leitore.
"Dried mango, toasted coconut, dried berries, sweet and spicy pecan kernels are about $3 a bag, and they can be packed in a large fruit bowl."
In the open space of the warehouse, Deng Liduo stretched out two fingers and put them together, raised his arms and slowly drew a circle in the air.
If the owner of this action was not Dumbledore, maybe Jessica would have to quickly move away from this psychosis, but at this time Jessica understood that this might be another kind of magic.
As Dumbledore's fingers slowly moved in the air, a dazzling golden light appeared behind Dumbledore's fingers, and a few seconds later, a golden circle of light with a diameter of more than two meters appeared in the air.
What's even more amazing is that the voices within the golden aperture are chaotic and noisy, and the goods sleeping quietly in the warehouse are incompatible, and within the aperture deftly emerge one after another gray-skinned elves with pointed ears.
These elves are skilled in their movements, and apparently frequented the two food storerooms.
Jessica finally understood at this moment that this was a portal, and magic was indeed a magical thing, which could casually link two places far away in the world.
Jessica also finally knew why the food that Dumbledore asked her to prepare suddenly disappeared in the warehouse, and it was no wonder that ordinary clerks couldn't find out about the catastrophics by directly creating a portal teleportation.
Speaking of portals, this magic actually comes from the Marvel Movie World, from the very hidden Kama Taj in the Himalayas. There, there is an old and frail mage teaching those who have a talent for magic, space magic, and melee magic.
"Move this tray of snacks into the Philosopher's Stone Ingredients Warehouse!"
With Dunlido's command, an elf stretched out a small paw holding a small wooden stick, and an entire wooden pallet with goods more than a meter high rose from the ground, floating in the air in defiance of gravity.
A second before Jessica wondered how these little things could lift such a heavy load, but now she knew her worries were completely unnecessary.
It turned out that Dumbledore's world was far beyond his imagination, and magic was a common thing in that world, and even Dumbledore's team all had the magic of telekinesis.
"My Mr. Dumbledore, can I go to the world on the other side of the portal?"
Jessica is curious about the other side of the portal, Jessica hears the sound of a spatula stirring inside the iron pot, and Jessica smells the smell of boiling vegetable oil inside the iron bar.
Obviously, on the other side of the portal is what Dumbledore called "the back kitchen of Hogwarts", and it is already almost five o'clock in the morning, and once the kitchen is even half an hour late, several people may scratch the pear on the painting at the door.
